Another Perk for Obama’s People: Arcade Fire
By Adam Nagourney

So how lucky it is to be one of the staffers working for President Barack Obama over these past two years?

Forget the fact that you worked for a presidential candidate who won (most don’t). Or that you probably got tickets to join 1.5 million people at the Inauguration. Or that you got a 50 percent discount on $150 Inaugural Ball tickets. Or that you might have moved into a desk in the West Wing of the White House today.

It gets even better. Word out today is that Arcade Fire, the super-popular Indie rock group, has come to Washington to play a private party for Mr. Obama’s staff members at The Armory. (Yep, hard to believe, there’s going to be ANOTHER party celebrating Mr. Obama’s election). Jay-Z is also performing.

O.K., now we realize that some readers might not equate, say, getting a job inside the White House with the opportunity to see Arcade Fire at a private party. That just shows what you know.

Members of the large and sprawling group, which includes members from Canada and the United States, turned it out for Mr. Obama during his presidential campaign, showing up in some rather out-of-the-way places — think the tiny Stuart’s Opera House in Nelsonville, Ohio – to help with voter-registration and get-out-the-vote efforts by Mr. Obama among college students. Some of the best shows of the year.

Perks? We has them ...
